About Rocky

Rocky is a HPC cluster comprised of compute heavy nodes with 40 cores/80 threads and 512GB of ram [rocky], memory intensive nodes with 20 cores/40 threads and 768GB of RAM [moose], and a Ceph storage subsystem [quarrel]


Requesting Access

In order to gain access to Rocky you must first fill out the Rocky_Access_Form.
